It's just the climate button. Runs it for 15 minutes or you can extend it once(for a total of 30 minutes) last I played with it

But if you use both the 15 and extension or 2 separate remote starts it won't remote start again until you physically start the truck.

Thanks. I always thought Climate was just for heating the interior, not pre-conditioning the battery. I am more interested in pre-conditioning the battery as it extends range nicely. Also, never thought of it as a remote start... Ford should learn from Trump - language does make a difference... Or I should read the manual (but I am a man!) This really helps since I am always changing departure times and 15 minutes is perfect.

Then I mis understood.

The only way to precondition the battery is to set a departure time. Only worthwhile if you need the added range that comes with a warmed battery. If you don't need the range it's just a zero sum game that spends energy.

And the truck needs to be plugged into a level 2 EVSE to get the ~full~ benefits of battery conditioning, folks have argued that it also works with level-1 EVSE but not very effectively given the limited amount of energy it can provide and the demands of energy during cabin & battery warming phases.
